Johne I just wanted to say since I watched your P5 playthrough came out and any comment wouldn't be seen, I loved your commentary and it's the very best let's play I've watched. You were never boring. I loved your thoughts on the themes and significance of small things. It was a piece of art
Great job on all of the homework you did. Tathlum Bow is not an amazing bow, but it is one of the stronger ones in the game. Still not a Killer, Mini, Longbow, Magic, or Brave/The Inexhaustible Bow, but not bad either. Have my like for 7/11.
I'm sooo mad about the Valentia's Regalia This is crazy First some weapons are insane to craft then this 0.7 ( maybe ? ) rate Just to sell the Dlc who still cost 40 bucks ebnven after the 3DS fall Also Annette's crusher ; they only had to put in her items on the other routes of the war part and the Felix sword through a DIALOGUE ...
There are other ways to achieve the dracoshield in Echoes, though none of them is any easier: 1. Give the blacksmith in the Rigelian village four dragon scales 2. Forge a rusted shield and hope for the best 3. According to the wiki, you can also get one from the Inner Sanctum by destroying urns but I've personally never seen it happen
I farmed for Echoes Astra once in the DLC. It took me 15 goddamn hours. And you know what? I fucking did it again in a different Playthrough cuz i have nothing else to do with my life. At least i have the "Get all 3 of those dumb weapons" Badges.
As soon as I saw “legally impossible” in the title, I knew it was the 7/11 event. Left a like for it. I respect the research so much that not even the almost immediate Jugdral diss made me retract the like.
My God, can't imagine how much time this video took to make! A super well-made video man! As someone who tries to be a completionist, I actually had no idea about some of these items like the 7/11 Sword
The "Kaga" era of FE games really loves their super cryptic/hidden items and content, huh. Also fun fact about the Venomstone! The item is so rare that many online guides for 3Hs completely forget to mention it along with the other forging ores.
Are venomstones really that rare? I often end up with like 10-20 of them by the end of a run. They’re fking useless cause venin weapons are terrible but are they actually that hard to find?
@@ninjakirby777 yeah I usually only get enough to craft one weapon and maybe an upgrade. I can't seem to find a good use for venom weapons though. They're pretty weak so I don't even bother.
@@RallanDOG I tried using a Venin Bow+ on my VW-Maddening run and blew through the half the durability without poisoning a single enemy, then I just gave up on it and spammed Hunter's Volley from behind a wall with Ignatz
As unintuitive and raw luck based as it is to get a lot of Genealogy's secret items, I really like that they exist. It leans into that fairy tale like atmosphere the game has, where heroes stumble upon rare items during their journeys. From a narrative standpoint, it's great imo.
The Gaiden drop rate makes Gacha drop rates looks fair in comparison. Once I managed to get Cliff with all stats maxed up against the ennemy Shrine Thieves, and I never show a single Angel Ring. That's insane.
@@ashenleaf2089 It's around 3 times the best Gaiden drop. And around 80 more than the worst. Now, 0.8 is still awful, especially for a Gacha game. Don't get me wrong. All Gaiden cost you is your time and your sanity, no actual money, so it's still a better deal.
If FEH ever remembers that dumb bow, I feel like they’d make Brave Mercedes a sniper with a retconned Crusher like Tathlum Bow. Mainly just give it adaptive damage and then some other BS effects.
She wouldn't even need to be Brave, they could decide at some point to start doing post timeskip students, and give Mercedes the bow then. A handy way to give some students two weapons if they're adept in both.
Has it been considered that the Rexaura bishop unequips his weapon while using an Elixir as to not lose speed unnecessarily when he can't attack anyway? Kinda like how the 19x boss becomes harder to double when Kishuna is on the map.
I know Bishops will unequip Tomes if they use a staff, so I feel some code for that class tells them to unequip their weapon if they use any item in their inventory that wasn't that weapon. Or perhaps that enemy bishop explicitly unequips it so the player can steal
Your recent videos are literally what I’ve been waiting for from fire emblem channels. Hacking content, hard to find items, acknowledging old games, talking about the bootleg gbc game, weird dumb stuff like the tallest character in all of FE, E.T.C. Your editing style and content is sick, one of my favourite youtubers right now. Keep it up! You deserve way more subscribers.
I remember being pleasantly surprised and excited to see that Shadows of Valentia had achievements, to this day the only achievement I'm missing is the one that requires you to get Sol, Luna, and Astra.
My first playthrough, I picked up a rusted sword in a dungeon, and when I went to get it refined I noticed that it required a gold mark. I had just lucked out and gotten Astra, one of, if not THE best sword in the game. Cue a murder-fest involving several warp -> Astral Blade to just delete dangerous targets. Unsurprisingly, 250% damage on a sword with 50 crit is insane.
Great video! Things like Rexaura and the Loptous Sword definitely seem like AI glitches the player can take advantage of, so it’s really cool seeing how people can get their hands on them
The Tathlum Bow, both AM runs cleared most the map and was omw to fight Cordellia when the sniper spawned. Never stood on any specific tile. I assumed he appeared after a certin number of turns or after a certain number of enemys are killed.
I'm really hoping we get one soon. Part of me wants to have 3 per system. Part of me doesn't want another Fates to happen. Most of me just wants more Fire Emblem.
@@JR384 I actually quite liked Fates, it just felt quite unbalanced depending on which route you took. I would’ve rather any route been made easier or harder, rather than Birthright being the “easy” route.
@@maximeminassian6002 the fe style gameplay and skill systems is like 9/10, but monastery is like 6/10 and story is like 4/10. Itd be nice to get a new fe game where the story is compelling and finished
Clearly mystitain that owain uses is the hardest weapon to get. It's so legendary that only owain is allowed to use it. Fates and echoes the amiboo weapons are technically hard to get as you need the amiboo to use them and Ike is super unique being another 2 range swords that isn't nerfed like ryouma and xander. Shadow dragon would say weaker falchion as you have to kill tiki and fail plus destory your army to get the other ending as it's harder to fail but still win then just win in general.
Even rarer is the replica amiibo weapons that you can only get from having one of the amiibo characters man your armory. Not only would you not think this would be possible as no other bonus units in the game can man shops, but it’s also a random chance for them to do this meaning in larger armies such as Revelations the odds are against you to run into it naturally. This can be mitigated using accessories though.
@@BanltBandit I managed to get the replica Weapons easily by playing the amiboo ealry game but yeah and technically the fates system all has legendary weapons as each person gets a special one Honestly wish the echoes amiboo were playable
@@ivanbluecool Agree but the Echoes Amiibo usage is still way better than Three Houses. All the fire Emblem amiibos give you is generic items and a song to play in auxiliary battles.
@@lucifermorningstar8562 I don't know why the amiboo system gets worse as time goes on. Awakening had a pre amiboo system in game but spotpass and the card system had unique units like Walhart tiki and Marth being unique units. Fates had the best system giving the amiboo some Character and allow them to be used in your army. That's amazing as that gives you 4 special classes weapons and units. Sure buying the amiboo is basically dlc but it works for mutiple games like codename steam where robin and Lucina are broken units. Echoes meanwhile sucks as it's like 7 unique units weapons models and designs but useless as it's a waste of time and energy. That would have been amazing to have those 7 in echoes as playable units.
Hidden items are a pain to find, so going through the trouble of finding all the hidden/obscure/lost items must have been an even bigger one. 1 note though. On the Sephiran recruitment criteria for the Ashera staff, I believe you also need to have Ike engage but not defeat the Black Knight in Part 3.
couple small corrections: - in the route where you fight Conomor in chapter 16, you can't recruit him, so killing him is fine, although stealing is just easier - Nasir doesn't really face physical attacks besides a couple of Ashera's AoE attacks, so he's fine
You need to steal it since enemies don't drop items in Thracia when killed. I guess you could also capture him, but that'd be a waste of a sleep staff.
also in regards to FE the dancers holding the master seal and warp staff will still appear even if you capture and realise a dancer, you just can't kill them.
Hey I remember getting one of those level down items in the GBA games and wondering "why tf would I want this?" LOL P.S. I was messing with a gameshark to see what all could be attained
You can get Sol, Astra, and Luna in Echoes by an alternative method with drop rates that are just as low. You have a chance to get them by breaking pots and crates in the lower floors of the Thabes Labyrinth in certain rooms (I think floors 8 and 9, but I'm not sure). Last I checked, this is the method listed on Serenes Forrest.
I remember that I got Luna on my first playthrough of echoes. Then I found out how rare they were, and I went back to Thabes to see if I could get another one, and after many many trips through the dungeon I got... another Luna
Your question about the AI of the Rexaura, to my knowledge, enemy bishops have set base default weapon type that being staves. When said bishop uses the elixir, the AI reverts to using its base default weapon type. More testing will need to be done to confirm this.
16:50 I'd like to think that somewhere there is a discord server/serenes forest thread/somewhere else where people still share fates my castle codes for this very purpose. Who knows, maybe it's out there.
4:18 a little trick is to kill his entire unit but not him, he will activate a "return to castle to get reinforcements" AI, have a person stand in the front of the castle, and go up to Luthecia
This is quite a well-made video, and I can tell you put a lot of work into it. I've heard of some of them before- the Goddess Staff from Awakening(I think I actually managed to obtain it thanks to the clues) the Dracoshield from SoV, the White Dragon Scarf and Tathlum Bow from Three Houses, but it's amazing that many of these items are so rare and so hard to obtain.
Oh man! I didn’t realize the white dragon scarf was so rare. I always save flayn the first week so I thought it was given because I got the little support points during the cutscene after you rescue flayn.
Getting a Firestone in FE6 in the Brenya chapter. Requires getting one of your own thieves berserked and the glitch allows the thief to steal a Firestone from the manakete and survive the other enemies surrounding it.
Just commenting now as a psa, wii u online features are going down this april so the shadow dragon elysian whip will be now impossible to get on official copies of shadow dragon
Super cool video. I remember getting the Elysian Whips in FE11 back when it was new. Also I'm pretty sure I've stolen Bolting tomes in FE10 at some point, as I've played that game to death and I actually enjoyed training Heather very often.
Hey bro, I'm always watching your content but here I am leaving a comment for the algorithm! You did great, the video was very informative and I probably didn't know about at least half of these weapons, LOL. Incredible job!!
Good video, but there is a problem with this line: 5:15 "Or just kill him if you don't plan on recruitment him." FE5 doesn't have drops. You have to capture him or (as you said) steal it. Capturing him requires sleeping him, which I think should've been included. Anyway, Conomore also can't be recruited on that route. He can only be recruited if you go B route (with the forest map), and he doesn't appear as an enemy in that route (instead, Amalda, the A route exclusive character, appears).
12:00 Coding time! While I haven't looked at that games code, I can hazzard a guess why he'd de-equip the tome. When silenced, the game likely marks the tome as a weapon the unit cannot use so that, if they have another non-magic weapon, they AI will switch to that. If they don't, the weapon remains equipped but unusable. Using an elixir actually first equips the elixir to use it, then after use automatically re-equips the weapon... but in this case it can't, as the weapon is flagged as unuable.
Had no idea about Rexaura ! I always wanted that S rank weapon ToT. What the other S rank tomes that are exclusive to japan's version of Path of Radiance ? Anyway, nice video, thank you so much !
Me playing fire emblem 3 houses with my march 6th birthday: so other get a kingdom or a large wealth as a birth right and I got.... a scarf.... yah know what maybe Edelgard had a point.
Really interesting video , I can't imagine how much work this took to make! Personally I only knew about the vague katti so I learned a lot through this!
Actually, the hardest weapon to get in Binding Blade is a Fire Dragonstone. You need to have a thief berserked so their AI ignores normal stealing limits.
You didnt give Awakening enough attention. Excalabur tome only available in the double duels that require you to connect locally to a friend and grind out three max stat max skill characters to beat the Army of Shadows rediculoisly strong units that are past the health and stat cap every time.
I did this method with my brother many years ago, people often thought I hacked the game to get it. But we worked our asses off to get it legitimately.
Best luck I ever had was getting the Shooting Star lance from a summoned gargoyle on-video during my Gaiden Let's Play before Echoes came out. Sadly nobody watched that series, and those who did didn't realize just how lucky I had gotten. I eventually also got all 3 Sol Luna and Astra in Echoes just to complete my medal collection. Took probably a couple dozen runs of Thabes to get.
The dracoshield isn't that hard to get if you go after jedah's. You can just use the mage ring to safely blow him up with celica. Also bolting isn't that hard to get in 3-e of RD. An average promoted Heather should be able to steal bolting and any unit with 1 range, with provoke, standing at 2 range will get the mage to switch to elthunder.
All right here I am commenting after the video, and I just want to say I think it’s hilarious how Nintendo just chooses sometimes to be really good with her in relation like the shadow dragon and it’s online shop, and then they turn around and release 64 games on NSO that are broken graphically, don’t have custom controls, and remove any data they would’ve needed to get from the OG system.
Very impressed by your pronunciation of Xavier. Most people say it like Charles Xavier from X-Men, by saying the X like Ix-Zavier. It's rare i hear people say it right.
Out of all of these items, the Elysian Whip of FE11 is the only one I can say that I have aquired legitimately. Which I got from the Wii U version of the game. It kinda sucks because promoting pegasus knights into Dracoknights gives a huge boost to their strength and defence because the classes have completely different class bases. The Falcoknight, on the other hand has pretty low bases in STR and DEF, while giving even more SPD and SKL, which are stats Pegasus Knights already have more than they need of. The only upside is that the speed cap is really high so your peg knights could get up to like 28 speed instead of the usual 23. All in all, great video Faerghast!
Hi! Enjoyed the video! But as a person that has spent a bit of time in Japan and Taiwan where 7/11s are huge, I wanted to give some context for why the 7/11 collaboration may seem wacky to Americans. Even though 7/11s in the U.S. are commonly known as a chain of convenience stores that range in low to medium quality in the U.S. (my b.day is 7/11, Ive been going to 7/11s every year since the 90s, I stand by this statement, fite me m8 LOL), 7/11 is actually a _Japanese_ multinational corporation 😳 Japan is very condensed//a densly populated country as many people might know so convenience stores are everywhere and 7/11 dominates the market for being very high quality in service and food offerings. Manga, videogame gift cards and magazines are also commonly sold at 7/11s (and those paperback industries are booming in JPN...or at least they were back in 2017 when I was in Japan). Taiwan I think, has the second most amount of 7/11s because Taiwan has a lot of Japanese influence (as they were once colonized by the Japanese). I saw many many 7/11s when I was in rural Taiwan 😂 so I bet there were so many more in urban Taiwan
I have played Awakening FOUR. TIMES. all the way through. And had absolutely no goddamn idea the Goddess Staff existed. What the heck? Also the absolutely absurd requirements for certain recruitments and weapons in the pre-Awakening games (which I have never played) makes me want to beat my head against the wall!
HEY FAERGHAST, nice video men. You lost one detail in Fire Emblem Path Of Radiance. If you let all the bishops live in the chapter.. 22 solo i think it is... You get Ashera Staff. Nice video man, grettings from Panama
Suddenly I don't feel so bad about being unsuccessful at getting the Sol, Luna & Astra weapons in Shadows of Valentia (granted, I've yet to beat Thabes' Labyrinth on Normal difficulty, so...) Also, note to self: if Genealogy ever does get an Echoes remake, consider having Sylvia take a vow of celibacy
Nasir SS strike strategy. Give him imbue, a laguz gem, and only field him.... Or save two arms scrolls (I don't know if those work on Laguz... But there's a way to get SS if he can.) Also the act 1 draco shield really isn't that hard to get. Maybe if you have a team of 1 range attackers, which why would you do that. But chipping away with archers, mages, and trading around the lightning sword... It's pretty easy to get. Even if you turn all you villagers to 1 range units, again why, you have Siqlue with Nosferatu, a iron Lance with the long reach skill, and then again the lightning sword. I was able to get it in a ironman. I'm not saying it's not tricky to get... As if Slayde dies, which he can do fairly easily, and then there's pinning the guy who has it in a place where he can get to a healing tile... But overall I'd say it might be one if the easier weapons on this list to get...
I was still able to grind out 10,000+ battle points and visitation points in FE14, even though the number of players uploading their castle layouts has since declined. Ya don't need a ton of friends to make much of that a reality as long as the servers are still active, there are castles to still visit, and battles to be fought from them, you can still make it to those 10,000 points from each side. Also, visitation refreshes are about an hour or 2 after your most recent visit to said castle. Visitation points are rather easy to do as that is a 321 process. Battles on the other hand are a case by case basis. But ya want to take on moderate to easy castles saved to your system before pursuing the grind, followed by assuring that those castles are still there as there is a chance those castle cards may no longer be active. So ya want castles that allow you to seize the throne easy to battles that rarely put up a real fight. Also, the opposing castes are a great source for skills acquisitions, if your guys are lacking them in one form or another or ya don't want to grind playthroughs and pairings of characters to get those same skills.
I have a fact in Sacred stone: (You might know this) When you Cheat the Supply: You can see the Juna Fruit and Some Unobtainable Items, So is Quite Obtainable expect NOT Legit
I ran across the Talthun Bow solely because I was grinding XP for Caspar since I wanted the Scythe of Sariel (I can't spell it). I also just like clearing the map, so I was chasing after a unit on the left side of the castle, thus fulfilling that condition as well. I was so confused because I was thinking "who is this thief guy and have I seen him before?"
I'm no expert on A.I. but I do have some light to shed on why the Rexaura thing works I've played the ever loving crap out of path of Radiance(over 40 playthroughs) and have noticed a few things that lead me to this conclusion: the A.I. equips/re-equips weapons on units every time they move so if a silenced mage or bishop moves his item cannot be re-equipped and therefore is now unequiped since Rexaura dude can't attack he won't move unless he plans to use his Elixir to fully heal and needs to have taken heavy damage do prompt him into doing so. I've done some playthroughs where I specialized in stealing long distance magic tomes with Volke and certain times have done so with Silence (since staves are never equipped in this game they are stupidly easy to steal cuz Bishops are SLOOOOOOOW. Anywho some of those Sages I silenced to steal Meteors/Blizzard/Boltings would then move from the other end of the map (chapter 27 for this observation) and after that Move neither their long distance nor their regular magic (either El-something or rank A magics) were equipped so I could steal Both of them. Another instance where I saw this A.I. thing at work was with Cavaliers and this one looks like they flat out cheat so take a cavalier or paladin with lets say a big melee weapon like silver lance and a smaller ranged weapon like a basic hand axe and now he decides to attack your mage and since either way he does it the mage fights back he'll take his big silver stick and try to jam it where the sun don't shine, assuming you mage doesn't nail him with a crit and he had at least one space left to move as cavalry units can use leftover move to peace out and once he does so suddenly his equipped weapon is the hand axe even though he attacked you with the silver lance. So the only time I saw a cavalry not equip his distance weapon after using his non-distance bigger weapon for an attack is if he used all his movement to attack since its turn ended without moving again the A.I. couldn't cheat his safer weapon back on. this only happens if the unit had both weapons in it's inventory, just to be clear. In conclusion, the A.I. re-equips weapons every time a unit moves and uses this to cheat distance weapons after using melee ones on but also allows for forceful unequips through silence for easy magic weapon Acquisition, the biggest of which is Rexaura. Hope this helps
Another important addition to the 3-7 part in Radiant Dawn; Ike also cannot defeat the Black Knight to make the whole process work correctly, which is actually pretty easy to mess up since Ike's movement makes evading the Knight after attacking him difficult, and because the Knight appears in a weaker form that can actually be beaten without much trouble if you level units correctly.
Sadly you missed the sleep staffs in sacred stones where you can get the troubadour to waste the mend staff she drops in replace for the sleep staff but it takes timing patience and perfect damage
I definitely just assumed the Tathlum bow was a magic weapon, especially since AM gives a lot of decent unit-specific sacred weapons, so after going through the trouble of finding it only to discover it's ass, lemme tell you I wish I was trying to get Desaix's dracoshield

The Gaiden drop rate makes Gacha drop rates looks fair in comparison.
Once I managed to get Cliff with all stats maxed up against the ennemy Shrine Thieves, and I never show a single Angel Ring. That's insane.
Grinding those weapons in Gaiden is like playing a Korean MMO
FGO with its 0.800% rates: Are you sure about that?

@@ashenleaf2089 It's around 3 times the best Gaiden drop. And around 80 more than the worst.

FGO is one of fate’s many alternate timelines. While not really important, you can enjoy the series through a bunch of UA-cam videos and anime.

Has it been considered that the Rexaura bishop unequips his weapon while using an Elixir as to not lose speed unnecessarily when he can't attack anyway? Kinda like how the 19x boss becomes harder to double when Kishuna is on the map.
I know Bishops will unequip Tomes if they use a staff, so I feel some code for that class tells them to unequip their weapon if they use any item in their inventory that wasn't that weapon. Or perhaps that enemy bishop explicitly unequips it so the player can steal
Guessing right now the 7 Sword and the 11 Shield
Let’s go I was right

I had just lucked out and gotten Astra, one of, if not THE best sword in the game. Cue a murder-fest involving several warp -> Astral Blade to just delete dangerous targets. Unsurprisingly, 250% damage on a sword with 50 crit is insane.
My dumbass somehow got only 2 Sols despite all my time in the DLC
The Tellius games and SoV are by far my favorite of the Fire Emblem series. Played Radiant Dawn enough to actually attempt to get Sephiran.
Great video! Things like Rexaura and the Loptous Sword definitely seem like AI glitches the player can take advantage of, so it’s really cool seeing how people can get their hands on them
The Tathlum Bow, both AM runs cleared most the map and was omw to fight Cordellia when the sniper spawned. Never stood on any specific tile. I assumed he appeared after a certin number of turns or after a certain number of enemys are killed.
This just makes me feel really ready for a new FE game.
I'm really hoping we get one soon. Part of me wants to have 3 per system. Part of me doesn't want another Fates to happen. Most of me just wants more Fire Emblem.
I just hope it isn't a rush job like 3h
@@gameboyn64 3H still excellent and is probably the more original and creative of all of Fire Emblem games
@@JR384 I actually quite liked Fates, it just felt quite unbalanced depending on which route you took. I would’ve rather any route been made easier or harder, rather than Birthright being the “easy” route.
@@maximeminassian6002 the fe style gameplay and skill systems is like 9/10, but monastery is like 6/10 and story is like 4/10. Itd be nice to get a new fe game where the story is compelling and finished
Clearly mystitain that owain uses is the hardest weapon to get. It's so legendary that only owain is allowed to use it.
Fates and echoes the amiboo weapons are technically hard to get as you need the amiboo to use them and Ike is super unique being another 2 range swords that isn't nerfed like ryouma and xander.
Shadow dragon would say weaker falchion as you have to kill tiki and fail plus destory your army to get the other ending as it's harder to fail but still win then just win in general.
Even rarer is the replica amiibo weapons that you can only get from having one of the amiibo characters man your armory. Not only would you not think this would be possible as no other bonus units in the game can man shops, but it’s also a random chance for them to do this meaning in larger armies such as Revelations the odds are against you to run into it naturally. This can be mitigated using accessories though.
@@BanltBandit I managed to get the replica Weapons easily by playing the amiboo ealry game but yeah and technically the fates system all has legendary weapons as each person gets a special one
Honestly wish the echoes amiboo were playable
@@BanltBandit isn't their an accessory that boosts shop odds?
@@ivanbluecool Agree but the Echoes Amiibo usage is still way better than Three Houses. All the fire Emblem amiibos give you is generic items and a song to play in auxiliary battles.
@@lucifermorningstar8562 I don't know why the amiboo system gets worse as time goes on. Awakening had a pre amiboo system in game but spotpass and the card system had unique units like Walhart tiki and Marth being unique units.
Fates had the best system giving the amiboo some Character and allow them to be used in your army. That's amazing as that gives you 4 special classes weapons and units. Sure buying the amiboo is basically dlc but it works for mutiple games like codename steam where robin and Lucina are broken units.
Echoes meanwhile sucks as it's like 7 unique units weapons models and designs but useless as it's a waste of time and energy. That would have been amazing to have those 7 in echoes as playable units.
Hidden items are a pain to find, so going through the trouble of finding all the hidden/obscure/lost items must have been an even bigger one.
1 note though. On the Sephiran recruitment criteria for the Ashera staff, I believe you also need to have Ike engage but not defeat the Black Knight in Part 3.
couple small corrections:
- in the route where you fight Conomor in chapter 16, you can't recruit him, so killing him is fine, although stealing is just easier
- Nasir doesn't really face physical attacks besides a couple of Ashera's AoE attacks, so he's fine
You need to steal it since enemies don't drop items in Thracia when killed. I guess you could also capture him, but that'd be a waste of a sleep staff.
also in regards to FE the dancers holding the master seal and warp staff will still appear even if you capture and realise a dancer, you just can't kill them.
@@CosmicToad5000 really? I'd heard the opposite. You got a source?
@@papersonic9941 only source i have is i did it on my most recent FE5 Play-through a month ago and still got them.
@@CosmicToad5000 lol fair enough. I'll have to try it myself.
Hey I remember getting one of those level down items in the GBA games and wondering "why tf would I want this?" LOL
P.S. I was messing with a gameshark to see what all could be attained
Level down to grow stats more?
@@kaitoudark1 yep, I realized that later on but I was like 12 and wasn't thinking too hard about it LOL
You can get Sol, Astra, and Luna in Echoes by an alternative method with drop rates that are just as low. You have a chance to get them by breaking pots and crates in the lower floors of the Thabes Labyrinth in certain rooms (I think floors 8 and 9, but I'm not sure). Last I checked, this is the method listed on Serenes Forrest.
I remember that I got Luna on my first playthrough of echoes.
Then I found out how rare they were, and I went back to Thabes to see if I could get another one, and after many many trips through the dungeon I got... another Luna
Your question about the AI of the Rexaura, to my knowledge, enemy bishops have set base default weapon type that being staves. When said bishop uses the elixir, the AI reverts to using its base default weapon type. More testing will need to be done to confirm this.
16:50 I'd like to think that somewhere there is a discord server/serenes forest thread/somewhere else where people still share fates my castle codes for this very purpose. Who knows, maybe it's out there.
4:18 a little trick is to kill his entire unit but not him, he will activate a "return to castle to get reinforcements" AI, have a person stand in the front of the castle, and go up to Luthecia
This is quite a well-made video, and I can tell you put a lot of work into it.
I've heard of some of them before- the Goddess Staff from Awakening(I think I actually managed to obtain it thanks to the clues) the Dracoshield from SoV, the White Dragon Scarf and Tathlum Bow from Three Houses, but it's amazing that many of these items are so rare and so hard to obtain.
Oh man! I didn’t realize the white dragon scarf was so rare. I always save flayn the first week so I thought it was given because I got the little support points during the cutscene after you rescue flayn.
Yeah I always saved Flayn first week too so I didn't know until now
Getting a Firestone in FE6 in the Brenya chapter. Requires getting one of your own thieves berserked and the glitch allows the thief to steal a Firestone from the manakete and survive the other enemies surrounding it.
I got Astra on my first run of SoV.
No DLCs.
Man that was lucky-
Imagine working at 7/11 and a guy comes in asking for a sword and shield
Just commenting now as a psa, wii u online features are going down this april so the shadow dragon elysian whip will be now impossible to get on official copies of shadow dragon
I love the design of the 7 sword and also the 11 shield!
Oooooo I’m taking notes for this cryptic hidden items, thanks for pointing these out! They’re so interesting!
The 7-Eleven collaboration never stops baffling me no matter how many times I hear it
Super cool video. I remember getting the Elysian Whips in FE11 back when it was new. Also I'm pretty sure I've stolen Bolting tomes in FE10 at some point, as I've played that game to death and I actually enjoyed training Heather very often.
Hey bro, I'm always watching your content but here I am leaving a comment for the algorithm! You did great, the video was very informative and I probably didn't know about at least half of these weapons, LOL. Incredible job!!
I’m gonna guess that sword you can only get in Azure Moon by talking to Rodrigue with Byleth on the Aileil map
Welp, correct on Azure Moon, but it's the bow that appears in such an obscure requirement
Good video, but there is a problem with this line:
5:15 "Or just kill him if you don't plan on recruitment him."
FE5 doesn't have drops. You have to capture him or (as you said) steal it. Capturing him requires sleeping him, which I think should've been included.
Anyway, Conomore also can't be recruited on that route. He can only be recruited if you go B route (with the forest map), and he doesn't appear as an enemy in that route (instead, Amalda, the A route exclusive character, appears).
12:00 Coding time! While I haven't looked at that games code, I can hazzard a guess why he'd de-equip the tome. When silenced, the game likely marks the tome as a weapon the unit cannot use so that, if they have another non-magic weapon, they AI will switch to that. If they don't, the weapon remains equipped but unusable. Using an elixir actually first equips the elixir to use it, then after use automatically re-equips the weapon... but in this case it can't, as the weapon is flagged as unuable.
Had no idea about Rexaura ! I always wanted that S rank weapon ToT. What the other S rank tomes that are exclusive to japan's version of Path of Radiance ?
Anyway, nice video, thank you so much !
Me playing fire emblem 3 houses with my march 6th birthday: so other get a kingdom or a large wealth as a birth right and I got.... a scarf.... yah know what maybe Edelgard had a point.
I would have liked to see a slurpee food item during that SoV 7-11 promotion. Imagine feeding it to units in your army XD
Really interesting video , I can't imagine how much work this took to make! Personally I only knew about the vague katti so I learned a lot through this!
Commenting before the video because I really like all the continent and I’m here to be useful.
Huh...foodchains and coffee shops crossovers in my rpgs? No dignity.
That was fun, I’ll try to leave a comment more often in your videos pal, thank you so much
9:13
I had that demo disc when i was young.
Hooked me into f-zero
It's a little odd that a cat or dog can give you the material needed to make a poison weapon.
I’m still waiting for the perfect moment to bring up the Seven Eleven Echoes event in a conversation
Sword of Seiros in Three Houses. My fantasy of Edelgard killing Rhea with the sword and shield of seiros can never come to pass
A moment of silence for brave weapons in shadow dragon
That Chibi Edelgard is adorable! 😍🥰
3:36 those are the best weapons i've ever seen, damn
Actually, the hardest weapon to get in Binding Blade is a Fire Dragonstone.
You need to have a thief berserked so their AI ignores normal stealing limits.
Exactly. I can't believe he didn't mention it, or just ignorant of it.
I knew about Sol, Luna and Astra's existences, but god I wish I knew how low the drop rates were for them (for both Gaiden and SoV).
I’ve been trying for the past 3 years to get them, still haven’t gotten any of the relics
I didn't know that Shadow Dragon's online shop was still available through the game's Wii U VC version, neat.
Thanks for uploading! =)
New Mystery is the same though is exclusive to Japan all the same
That was really entertaining. And yea the FE Gaiden drop rates are abysmal ._. smh
It’s akin to full-odds shiny hunting in the older Pokémon games. Slightly better, but not by much.
You didnt give Awakening enough attention. Excalabur tome only available in the double duels that require you to connect locally to a friend and grind out three max stat max skill characters to beat the Army of Shadows rediculoisly strong units that are past the health and stat cap every time.
I did this method with my brother many years ago, people often thought I hacked the game to get it. But we worked our asses off to get it legitimately.
@@davidblanco8503 I got it legit with a buddy in highschool to get it. Took about a year of trying on and off
Best luck I ever had was getting the Shooting Star lance from a summoned gargoyle on-video during my Gaiden Let's Play before Echoes came out. Sadly nobody watched that series, and those who did didn't realize just how lucky I had gotten.
I eventually also got all 3 Sol Luna and Astra in Echoes just to complete my medal collection. Took probably a couple dozen runs of Thabes to get.
Man that 7/11 sponsorship was uh...unexpected. I certainly learned something new.
The dracoshield isn't that hard to get if you go after jedah's. You can just use the mage ring to safely blow him up with celica. Also bolting isn't that hard to get in 3-e of RD. An average promoted Heather should be able to steal bolting and any unit with 1 range, with provoke, standing at 2 range will get the mage to switch to elthunder.
Getting Desaix’s dracoshield was absolutely annoying but worth it
All right here I am commenting after the video, and I just want to say I think it’s hilarious how Nintendo just chooses sometimes to be really good with her in relation like the shadow dragon and it’s online shop, and then they turn around and release 64 games on NSO that are broken graphically, don’t have custom controls, and remove any data they would’ve needed to get from the OG system.
Nice
3:35 Nice Sword
The fact that I didn’t even know about the Shadow Dragon Falcoknights even though I play the Wii U virtual console version all the time
10:46 Miranda in Thracia 776 is also recruited by standing on a specific tile
Comment
Very impressed by your pronunciation of Xavier. Most people say it like Charles Xavier from X-Men, by saying the X like Ix-Zavier.
It's rare i hear people say it right.
I appreciate the work you put into this video and all the information you've provided, man
I'm sorry, a LV 50 Sniper? With a (basically) Personal weapon?? With unclear conditions??? W-what????
Out of all of these items, the Elysian Whip of FE11 is the only one I can say that I have aquired legitimately. Which I got from the Wii U version of the game. It kinda sucks because promoting pegasus knights into Dracoknights gives a huge boost to their strength and defence because the classes have completely different class bases. The Falcoknight, on the other hand has pretty low bases in STR and DEF, while giving even more SPD and SKL, which are stats Pegasus Knights already have more than they need of.
The only upside is that the speed cap is really high so your peg knights could get up to like 28 speed instead of the usual 23.
All in all, great video Faerghast!
Hi! Enjoyed the video! But as a person that has spent a bit of time in Japan and Taiwan where 7/11s are huge, I wanted to give some context for why the 7/11 collaboration may seem wacky to Americans. Even though 7/11s in the U.S. are commonly known as a chain of convenience stores that range in low to medium quality in the U.S. (my b.day is 7/11, Ive been going to 7/11s every year since the 90s, I stand by this statement, fite me m8 LOL), 7/11 is actually a _Japanese_ multinational corporation 😳 Japan is very condensed//a densly populated country as many people might know so convenience stores are everywhere and 7/11 dominates the market for being very high quality in service and food offerings. Manga, videogame gift cards and magazines are also commonly sold at 7/11s (and those paperback industries are booming in JPN...or at least they were back in 2017 when I was in Japan). Taiwan I think, has the second most amount of 7/11s because Taiwan has a lot of Japanese influence (as they were once colonized by the Japanese). I saw many many 7/11s when I was in rural Taiwan 😂 so I bet there were so many more in urban Taiwan
Damn I so respect you for doing this. I love learning about the FE universe
I have played Awakening FOUR. TIMES. all the way through. And had absolutely no goddamn idea the Goddess Staff existed. What the heck?
Also the absolutely absurd requirements for certain recruitments and weapons in the pre-Awakening games (which I have never played) makes me want to beat my head against the wall!
HEY FAERGHAST, nice video men. You lost one detail in Fire Emblem Path Of Radiance. If you let all the bishops live in the chapter.. 22 solo i think it is... You get Ashera Staff. Nice video man, grettings from Panama
Suddenly I don't feel so bad about being unsuccessful at getting the Sol, Luna & Astra weapons in Shadows of Valentia (granted, I've yet to beat Thabes' Labyrinth on Normal difficulty, so...)
Also, note to self: if Genealogy ever does get an Echoes remake, consider having Sylvia take a vow of celibacy
1:27 my headcanon is that someone did the conversion from % chance format to decimal twice.
Nasir SS strike strategy. Give him imbue, a laguz gem, and only field him.... Or save two arms scrolls (I don't know if those work on Laguz... But there's a way to get SS if he can.)
Also the act 1 draco shield really isn't that hard to get. Maybe if you have a team of 1 range attackers, which why would you do that. But chipping away with archers, mages, and trading around the lightning sword... It's pretty easy to get. Even if you turn all you villagers to 1 range units, again why, you have Siqlue with Nosferatu, a iron Lance with the long reach skill, and then again the lightning sword.
I was able to get it in a ironman. I'm not saying it's not tricky to get... As if Slayde dies, which he can do fairly easily, and then there's pinning the guy who has it in a place where he can get to a healing tile... But overall I'd say it might be one if the easier weapons on this list to get...
I was still able to grind out 10,000+ battle points and visitation points in FE14, even though the number of players uploading their castle layouts has since declined. Ya don't need a ton of friends to make much of that a reality as long as the servers are still active, there are castles to still visit, and battles to be fought from them, you can still make it to those 10,000 points from each side.
Also, visitation refreshes are about an hour or 2 after your most recent visit to said castle.
Visitation points are rather easy to do as that is a 321 process. Battles on the other hand are a case by case basis. But ya want to take on moderate to easy castles saved to your system before pursuing the grind, followed by assuring that those castles are still there as there is a chance those castle cards may no longer be active. So ya want castles that allow you to seize the throne easy to battles that rarely put up a real fight. Also, the opposing castes are a great source for skills acquisitions, if your guys are lacking them in one form or another or ya don't want to grind playthroughs and pairings of characters to get those same skills.
Before Watching, I'm expecting the Echoes 7/11 items and the Blazing Sword Emblem items (from the Double Dash Bonus Disk)
I have a fact in Sacred stone: (You might know this) When you Cheat the Supply: You can see the Juna Fruit and Some Unobtainable Items, So is Quite Obtainable expect NOT Legit
I ran across the Talthun Bow solely because I was grinding XP for Caspar since I wanted the Scythe of Sariel (I can't spell it). I also just like clearing the map, so I was chasing after a unit on the left side of the castle, thus fulfilling that condition as well. I was so confused because I was thinking "who is this thief guy and have I seen him before?"
I'm no expert on A.I. but I do have some light to shed on why the Rexaura thing works
I've played the ever loving crap out of path of Radiance(over 40 playthroughs) and have noticed a few things that lead me to this conclusion: the A.I. equips/re-equips weapons on units every time they move so if a silenced mage or bishop moves his item cannot be re-equipped and therefore is now unequiped since Rexaura dude can't attack he won't move unless he plans to use his Elixir to fully heal and needs to have taken heavy damage do prompt him into doing so. I've done some playthroughs where I specialized in stealing long distance magic tomes with Volke and certain times have done so with Silence (since staves are never equipped in this game they are stupidly easy to steal cuz Bishops are SLOOOOOOOW.
Anywho some of those Sages I silenced to steal Meteors/Blizzard/Boltings would then move from the other end of the map (chapter 27 for this observation) and after that Move neither their long distance nor their regular magic (either El-something or rank A magics) were equipped so I could steal Both of them.
Another instance where I saw this A.I. thing at work was with Cavaliers and this one looks like they flat out cheat so take a cavalier or paladin with lets say a big melee weapon like silver lance and a smaller ranged weapon like a basic hand axe and now he decides to attack your mage and since either way he does it the mage fights back he'll take his big silver stick and try to jam it where the sun don't shine, assuming you mage doesn't nail him with a crit and he had at least one space left to move as cavalry units can use leftover move to peace out and once he does so suddenly his equipped weapon is the hand axe even though he attacked you with the silver lance. So the only time I saw a cavalry not equip his distance weapon after using his non-distance bigger weapon for an attack is if he used all his movement to attack since its turn ended without moving again the A.I. couldn't cheat his safer weapon back on. this only happens if the unit had both weapons in it's inventory, just to be clear.
In conclusion, the A.I. re-equips weapons every time a unit moves and uses this to cheat distance weapons after using melee ones on but also allows for forceful unequips through silence for easy magic weapon Acquisition, the biggest of which is Rexaura.
Hope this helps
I usually go with Byleth's canon bday (or at least the assumed one), but my own birthday would get the White Dragon Scarf. March 16th baby!
Another important addition to the 3-7 part in Radiant Dawn; Ike also cannot defeat the Black Knight to make the whole process work correctly, which is actually pretty easy to mess up since Ike's movement makes evading the Knight after attacking him difficult, and because the Knight appears in a weaker form that can actually be beaten without much trouble if you level units correctly.
Sadly you missed the sleep staffs in sacred stones where you can get the troubadour to waste the mend staff she drops in replace for the sleep staff but it takes timing patience and perfect damage
I definitely just assumed the Tathlum bow was a magic weapon, especially since AM gives a lot of decent unit-specific sacred weapons, so after going through the trouble of finding it only to discover it's ass, lemme tell you I wish I was trying to get Desaix's dracoshield
